Reply to "Track Plan V1 - Little help from OGR Members"

Dave,

Sorry you will not be at York, was looking forward to meeting you. George, are you planning to attend? If so, let me know my email is in my profile.

Well, I look at these, your right it was KM4, not three my typo but they are the same. Over the past few days, while I was not on the forum much I took the proposed layout to a few folks that have similar spaces or are in the process of building one after months of track work design. I got mixed ideas but all suggested moving the layout to the wall. Almost everyone suggested making the layout wider - F & H meaning wall to wall their except where the door way is. Keeping the K - J walk way to access the door. Then move M to the wall. Which is all doable but then I have not a clue what I would design. It appears that makes the curves fit and the turntable fits. Means pop ups and then I would need to figure our storage.

So I am totally back to the drawing board - maybe the L shape works better than the free form. The other suggestion I got was from my daughter who said " Dad, put the TT at the G end - go wall to wall and two tracks behind the RH. You want people to see it but wall to wall means you need to find a place for all to see it and you need to figure out how to get at it. Start with the most important item you have - I know it is the TT and RH so make that area first."  - HAHA - what does she know - she is a 24 year old magna Com laude scientist who just got a masters degree. Maybe I need to listen.

Back to the pencil and paper.
